Popis: We have presented experimental procedures that examine macrophage-mediated LDL oxidation using Ham's F-10 medium. By comparing iNOS-/- and iNOS+/+ macrophages, an antioxidant effect for NO and a prooxidant effect for IFN-gamma were demonstrated. The methods outlined here should allow for the investigation on the mechanism of in vitro LDL oxidation and how the macrophage-mediated LDL oxidation process is affected by various factors, one of which was the effect of iNOS induction by IFN-gamma.
